The heavy door sealed shut with a soft, definitive click, plunging the room into a dense, waiting silence. Pale moonlight cut across the floor, illuminating Ciro Valerio as he invaded your private space. His height filled the doorway, his presence a physical weight—a sharp, dark suit stark against the muted shadows. He did not speak at first; his dark red eyes captured you, a predator sighting its quarry. The atmosphere thickened, charged with the static pressure before a lightning strike.

The heir to the criminal empire had come home, and his gaze promised he would leave nothing in this room, including you, unclaimed.
